Prayers to everyone getting sleeved in October. I was sleeved in Monday the 21st. I lost 10 lgs pre pop and have actually gained 2lbs since surgery. That sucks but I'm trying not to get discouraged

So how has it been for you this week? How are you doing taking on fluids?

Sip sip sip all day long and walking 5-10 min every couple hours. I feel so full I don't know how I could possibly drink any more than I am

Don't get discouraged about the gain. My doctor said that you can actually gain up to 10lbs post op because of all of the fluids from your IV's. It will be gone in no time :-)

No kidding. They pumped four bags of fluids plus other meds in me while I was there. I felt like a Water bag. They wanted to see me pee before they would discharge me. If I didn't pee that evening after surgery they threatened to put the catheter back in. Needless to say I forced it out.

Hi Jane my mom is doing great right now. I was so happy today when they said we were going to the hotel.

I'm so glad! You were very brave getting it done together :-)

Yes it was quite the experience. Seeing her so sick brought me down a lot but when I woke this morning and saw her sleeping in her bed I was happy. It was such a drastic change over night even. I have to admit at one point she looked so bad and I'm not religious but I closed my eyes and prayed.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
